Custom messenger bags are the epitome of cool, laid-back style. Spacious enough for your essentials and unisex for men and women, these classic bags never go out of fashion. Design your own messenger bag online with Contrado, and create an accessory that is distinctly you. Your bag is made from supple black Italian leather with your design printed on the front. This printed messenger bag has a comfortable webbing shoulder strap and a secure zip closure, which makes it ideal to wear every day, and it is available in three sizes.

About Your Custom Messenger Bags

Made from supple real Italian leather, your new bag is a classic and timeless piece of fashion, which you will love wearing to all occasions. We use a thick and comfortable webbing to make the shoulder strap. This fabric is sturdy and easy to wear. It can also be adjusted, so you can wear it on your shoulder, or across your body for added security. This bag is particularly useful for when you are out and about, as the large option has three secure zip pockets and the medium and small have a rear zip pocket. Strong metal fixings will provide additional security and peace of mind. With three sizes to choose from, your new bag has a main compartment which is roomy enough to hold your must-have items; phone, keys, a small makeup bag, tablets or e-readers etc.

How Your Custom Messenger Bags Are Made And Printed

We use the finest fabrics and materials to create printed messenger bags that you will love to use over and over again. When your design is uploaded, it is printed by our team of technicians onto the smooth Italian Nappa leather. When you make your own messenger bag out of leather, over time it will get that stunning, distressed look. This charming and timeless aesthetic will give your bag longevity, authenticity and years of wear. Thick webbing material is used to create the strap for your bag, which can be adjusted according to your preference.

Care Instructions

We recommend wiping your bag clean with a damp cloth. The classic distressed leather appearance will naturally develop after 12 months of use.

Design Tips

Your artwork is printed onto one side of the custom messenger bag, taking up the entire side. Consider the black leather trim and appendages when choosing which designs to upload. Delicate and soft prints will look pretty, but designs with bolder, more vibrant color schemes will just come alive on the leather. Your print is surrounded by smart black piping, which helps elevate the design and make it leap off of the bag.

Print Guideline

What's the best resolution to print in?

We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.

Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?

For multi-colored or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.

Which color model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?

If each individual color is specifically important to your design, choose CYMK as our setup will print each color with the closest possible match within our available range. If the relationship between the colors within the image is more important choose RGB, this will reduce all colors equally to fit within our range.

What does GSM mean?

Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).

What are bleed areas?

When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.

Do you print on garments a customer supplies?

Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric, and sewn into finished products, which gives a better finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.

Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?

We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 0.08" 0.12", which Is close enough for most patterns, but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.

Can I print my own Labels?

Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding! If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.

How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?

With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colors and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.

Please note: As we make everything by hand, all sizes may vary slightly.
